Why did the car battery suddenly run out of power?
1 Answers
The reasons why a car battery suddenly runs out of power are: 1. During long-term parking, the power in the battery will continuously discharge, leading to a power deficit and making it impossible to start the car; 2. If the headlights are not turned off after parking at night, the battery may also run out of power after sitting overnight. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery commonly referred to is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the condition of the vehicle. Under normal circumstances where the vehicle's alternator recharges properly and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last for more than 3 years.
